…have you seen all the social media management tools out there? Sheesh. If you have more than one social media account, you can use one of these “buckets” to keep them all on the same page — or screen, if you prefer that term. These are just the ones I’ve used. TweetDeck — I used [...]

It didn’t look that different from my previous home. I could breathe the air. The sky was blue, the grass green (except where it was starting to turn a dry, crispy brown), the temperature hot. I could find my way around okay. Places I visited looked much the same. And like it or not, I [...]

Nothing stays the same. Especially in the cyberverse. Not only does WordPress update the blogging platform, but authors of the various themes make improvements changes that they publish to the WP site, which sends out little nags to those bloggers using those themes.

I signed up to go to this thing as soon as I heard about it. It’s going to be in Houston (not that far to drive even in an un-air-conditioned car), at the Houston Museum of Natural History (one of my favorite places on the planet), I could afford the registration fee (a considerable consideration), [...]

I got the idea for this quilt months and months ago. I had all these smallish pieces of fabric, because I have a friend who likes to hang out in fabric stores. Being one of those people who is attracted to bright or shiny things, I invariably ended up buying a handful of [...]

So. The other day I decided to test drive some new themes. But I didn’t like them, so I switched back to “Tweaker” because even if nobody else sees him, I would still rather see the large image of my dog as the background. Call me sentimental. But this morning when I decided to post [...]

My preoccupation lately has been with making things rather than writing things, which isn’t entirely a bad thing, even though I’ve been thinking things that I could be writing about. But sometimes it’s just hard to put down the Sculpey, or the paintbrush; or I’ve already been sitting at the computer for what feels like [...]

If you’ve never tried to make anything with polymer clay, I don’t know if I’ll be able to adequately describe just what a pain in the butt this “little” item was to make. For starters, I’ve never had any “formal” training in using this stuff — I use Sculpey brand, and haven’t tried others so [...]
Are you terrified of Twitter? Fearful of Facebook? Suspicious of Delicious? Well, don’t be. They don’t bite. These are just three of the most popular of an assortment of web sites known as “social media.” Because I know some genuine computer geeks, I was able to sit down with one (thank you, Cody Bailey) and [...]
